The MD top 40 Christmas presents of our youth list.

In order.

Number 40

The Popeye alarm clock.

For years, the greatest thing we possessed. Ticked louder than Big Ben, with an almost silent alarm. Useless but beautiful.
Number 39

Toffee with a HAMMER!

The hammer later being used as an actual DIY tool.
Number 38

Scalextric.

17 people in our front room. A record. A car flew off on a bend and ended up in the fish tank. Still talked about in Airdrie to this day.
Number 37

A Memorex C90 cassette pack
Number 36

The strangely alluring and enduring shop till
Number 35

The radiogram

A Christmas present for the whole family from our Da.

100% changed our lives. It really did.
Number 34

T-Rex. The Slider.

Our very first album. Bought for us by our Ma, tipped off on the radiogram present.
Number 33

A massive tin of quality street.

'That'll last you while Easter".

Toffees only by boxing day.
Number 32

The classic Dandy/Beano annual combo.
Number 31

The Dynamo label maker.
